International  Side  Delivery  Rake 


Front  view,  showing  drive  chains,  gears,  crank  shaft  and  relief  springs 


Quality  and  Economy 

The  International  side  delivery  rake  rakes  hay  into  light,  fluffy  windrows  where  it  has  the 
best  opportunity  to  cure  in  such  a  way  that  its  full  nutritive  value  will  be  conserved.  "When 
raked  in  windrows  with  the  International,  the  air  circulates  freely  through  the  hay  and  it  is  air- 
cured,  not  sun-dried,  as  is  the  case  when  it  is  left  to  dry  in  the  swath.  Air-cured  hay  is  bright, 
tender,  and  nutritious,  whereas  sun-dried  hay  is  of  poor  color  and  low  feeding  value. 

Any  boy  who  is  old  enough  to  drive  a  team  can  rake  hay  with  the  International  side-delivery 
rake  as  there  is  nothing  to  do  except  throw  the  machine  in  gear  and  drive  around  the  field.  There 
are  no  dumping  devices  which  require  considerable  strength  to  operate.  When  the  crop  is  light, 
several  windrows  can  be  thrown  together  and  the  time  and  work  required  for  loading  greatly 
reduced. 

Construction  of  the  Main  Frame 


The  main  frame  of  the  International  side-delivery  rake  is  substantially  constructed  of  steel 
and  is  mounted  on  steel  wheels.  It  is  well  braced  to  withstand  the  twists  and  strains  to  which  it 
will  be  subjected  in  rough  fields  and  in  raking  the  heaviest  hay. 


The  Raking  Forks  Handle  the  Hay  Without  Threshing 

Instead  of  a  cylinder,  a  series  of  steel  forks  is  used  for  raking.  These  forks  are  four  in  num- 
ber, have  six  tines  each,  and  are  operated  by  a  crank  shaft  driven  from  the  axle  by  chains.  The 
power  on  this  crank  shaft  is  applied  in  the  center  and  consequently  the  load  is  evenly  distributed. 
This  reduces  the  draft  on  the  team,  and  the  strain  on  the  operating  mechanism. 

The  revolutions  of  the  crank  produce  the  rotary  motion  of  the  raking  forks,  which  pushes  the 
hay  to  one  side  into  light,  fluffy  windrows.  The  forks  move  just  fast  enough  to  do  thorough  work 
without  threshing  the  blossoms  and  leaves  off  the  hay  and  without  roping  the  hay  even  though  it 
is  wet. 

The  forks  are  of  high  grade  steel  and  of  the  coil  type.  They  are  each  controlled  by  a  coiled 
steel  relief  spring  which  allows  them  to  spring  back  in  passing  over  an  obstruction  so  that  they 
are  not  damaged. 

The  operating  mechanism  is  all  placed  high  from  the  ground  so  there  is  no  danger  of  its  becom- 
ing wrapped  with  hay.  It  is  also  provided  with  shields,  which  makes  it  impossible  for  hay  to  be 
caught  in  the  gears  or  chains. 

Windbreaks 

Two  steel  windbreaks  are  hinged  to  the  main  frame  and  swing  in  front  of  the  raking  forks. 
These  windbreaks  prevent  the  hay  from  being  blown  hack  against  the  forks,  in  case  it  is  being 
raked  against  a  strong  wind. 

Castor  Wheels 


A  castor  wheel  at  the  rear  assists  in  carrying  the  weight  of  the  rake  and  keeps  it  running 
level.  This  castor  wheel  has  up  and  down  adjustments  which  permit  the  height  of  the  forks  to  be 
regulated  to  all  conditions  of  ground  and  hay.  A  special  advantage  of  this  rake  is  that  it  has  an 
adjusting  device  next  to  the  left  hand  front  wheel,  by  means  of  which  the  forks  can  at  all  times  be 
kept  parallel  to  the  ground.
